once u stop fantasizing about an ideal version of urself and start working towards it by setting ur alarm clock earlier, working out, reading, and stop procrastinating u'll realize that it was so easy all along. ur ideal self will only exist in ur mind until u make the decision.
According to game theory: Do not exploit every advantage just because it exists. In repeated games, you expect to deal with someone on a consistent basis. As such, practice cooperation, leave them with dignity and profit, maximising the incentives for future cooperation. Maximise the relationship that generates transactions, rather than exploiting particular transaction.
Best lesson I learned this year is, you can't have one foot in your old life and one foot in your new life then expect change. You gotta fully commit to the new life..

Game theory shows that the easiest method to avoid betrayal is simply to punish it. It sounds easy because it is. Yet, most people are still too scared to follow through on their promises. And every time you let defection go unpunished, you lower the perceived cost of betrayal. You actively train those surrounding you to betray you, so don't act surprised when they do.
What a privilege it is to be able to run, afford a gym membership, buy healthy food, pay your bills, walk on your own legs, see with your own eyes, think clearly, work every day, and push your body to become stronger.
Never take these blessings for granted.
Underrated life advice: Be fully present in whatever you're doing. When you're working, work. When you're with family, be with family. When you're resting, rest. Stop being physically in one place while your mind is somewhere else.
Understand the hierarchy of importance by observing who is allowed to break rules without explanation, and who is punished for the same. The existence of most rules are arbitrary when you have power and absolute when you have none.
Game theory proves that you must always be prepared for confrontation. Regardless of how successful, how liked, or how loved you are, you will face opposition. New threats emerge, and former allies won't be driven by the same incentives as you anymore. To find out what drives your enemies and allies, you must look at their past. Remember that behaviors repeat; the past helps reveal what their true intentions might be. Peace is maintained through readiness, not naivety. Accept this truth before it's too late, because the bill is expensive.
In a corporate setting: you are always on record. Speak late, Speak little and speak only when it improves your position or you have something to gain from. Words are as treacherous and poisonous, as they are powerful. Anything you say, can and will be used against you. Office politics is just an example of civilised warfare.
Keep your wins a secret, or downgrade them. Most people are extremely envious. They do not see the extent of your efforts only the rewards of it. They begin to think you have it easy, or you were lucky. They slowly begin to poison your head by letting their insecurity become the architect of your ambition; passing subtle remarks to break your psyche, branding your self-belief as arrogance, and asking you to be humble.
u can spend years taking Ls and bounce back harder than ever in a single month. don't let ur past experiences convince u that u already know how the future is gonna play out
I believe the purpose of life is to be happy. Happiness is not guaranteed, we have to work for it. The most important way to do this is to cultivate concern for others. That’s how to take a wise approach to our natural self-interest.
